Key Focus

The lightest metal in the world, lithium is commonly used in electric vehicles, cellphones and rechargeable batteries for laptops.. . Analysts at political risk consultancy Eurasia Group say the trajectory of Argentina's lithium production hinges on the upcoming presidential election and how the outcome affects the country's macroeconomic outlook, as well as the likelihood of interventionist policies ...

has pledged that the country will no longer work with "communist" regimes if he wins the election.. . Analysts say Milei's unpredictable nature and lack of a political track record make it difficult to understand how he will oversee the lithium industry if he comes to power ...

"The stakes are high," analysts at Eurasia Group said in a research note published Sept. 18. "At risk is not only Argentina's opportunity to develop a robust lithium - and possibly battery - supply chain, but also the progress of the global energy transition." ...
